Three 6 Mafia - Underground Volume 1
Reviewed By: GRIM
Album Rate: 3 out of 5 Stars
This is the first of 3 Volumes that 3-6 Mafia put out on cd nationwide of their old underground tapes. I was too dam happy when this shit came out cuz its a hassle to find some of the tapes and the quality on some of them are suspect. "Ridin N Da Chevy" is crunk as fuck, the samples on it are off the hook, DJ Paul starts off this shit was a hella tight verse then Lord Infamous drops a off the hook verse, very fast flowing like he used to do, this song is blazing. Juicy J drops the last verse on this track--its pretty straight. Next up is one of the many DJ Mixes on this album, its just a bunch of samples mixed together with a beat----its called "Niggaz Aint Barin Dat"--its alright, nothing special. "Charging These Hoes" is track 3, DJ Paul and Juicy J are on this track, its alright but nothing that special.
"Now I'm High, Really High" this shit really pissed me off, they cut out a verse from Playa Fly which was a crunk ass verse but anyway, this song has been made into many versions, its a tight ass cut, Lord Infamous and Koopsta Knicca drops verses on this track, Koopsta shits is hella crunk. "Sucks On Dick" is another DJ Mix--its nothing special. Up next is the crunk ass cut "Playa Hataz"---mane everything about this song is tight, the beat is off the hook, Lord Infamous starts this shit off very tightly, Juicy J creeps in with a dope verse also, then Ms Lady Gangsta Boo comes in and rips shit up like she used to back in the day, last but not least is DJ Paul with a great verse. Track 7 is "Paul, With Da 45" and its another fuckin DJ Mix, its nothing special either.
"Where Da Bud At" is another song that was remade at a later time, the remake is alot better then this one but this one is really nice also, Lord Infamous really flows tight on this track. My favorite track on this album is next "Mask And Da Glock", mane this shit is off the hook, the beat is blazing and Lil Glock & SOG rip shit up propper like, I wish these niggas would get out the pen cuz they are crunk. "Dont Be Scared" is a funny ass cut, its goes Dont Be Scared put the rubber on the head---LOL, Juicy J is basically just clowning around on this track. "Time For Da Juice Mane" is another DJ Mix, but its the best one on so far on this album, I could bump this shit.
"Walk Up To Your House" is off the hook, it was on The End I think, it has a tight sample from Skinny Pimp on this track, the first verse is Juicy J flowing ever so tightly, then that nigga DJ Paul comes in with a very devilish sounding verse which is off the hook. "Yeah, They Done Fucked Up" is track 13 and its another DJ mix, its nothing special. Next up is "Talk Ya Ass Off" and its a solo track with DJ Paul dropping some really tight shit. The last track is called "Fuck All Dem Hoes"---woah mane I really like this shit, it has a laid back beat to it and Juicy J drops some really dope shit to start this track off then DJ Paul comes in with a descent verse.
Overall this album is alright, its a must have for all Triple 6 fans though, many of ya'll could do without this shit though, dam near half of the songs are DJ mixes that have no rapping in them--just samples. The songs that are on here are straight but they could have chosen betters songs to put up on here. And another thang--the cover says it featuers a gang of people and lists them out---the only people on this album are: DJ Paul, Lord Infamous, Juicy J, Koopsta Knicca, Gangsta Boo, Lil Glock, SOG. So dont let the cover fool you.
